Though I don't think it at all merits being described as a reference, I am minded of the The Usenet Oracle (at least when I knew of it). Though, if it was to be a deleliberate shout-out, I'd expect a few more actual in-jokes. 172.70.86.130 06:10, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

I bet Randall is in some kind of force-interaction-related, What-if-induced rabbit hole right now (or has been at the time of writing). Wondering what the next comic will be about. 172.71.144.175 08:39, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

"Nature of ... 20 pounds" is a reference to the koan "A monk asked Tozan, 'What is the nature of Buddha?' He replied, 'Three pounds of flax.'" Someone can add this to the explanation. 172.70.111.115 08:57, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
